Right, I did a search and although loads of people don't seem to like the Gmail app very much I couldn't find the same issue. On the whole the Gmail app is fine for me, but I've just noticed a problem.
I have two Gmail accounts set up. I was checking in one of them for an email I got last week as it had details of a meeting for tomorrow. So I was looking through and couldn't find it. I thought I might have deleted it by mistake, but I logged on to my emails on my computer and found it was there with all the others. There were a couple of emails on the 4th and 5th that never arrived on my phone.
I tried refreshing the inbox on my phone and no good. I thought maybe the phone was playing up those days but I checked my other Gmail account and I had emails on those days synced and good to go. I'm stumped.
Any ideas why this happened? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Can someone help me here please?
I have Exchange set up on my Desire. Occasionally, the last day or so's emails will not show on the phone under the inbox. They are there on the PC which is also on exchange but not the phone!
If I move the lost emails using the pc to a subfolder then back to the inbox and then resync the phone, the emails reappear on the phone's email app!
Any clues about what is going on here?

p.s. I use 4smartphone's exchange service
Are you sure none of the clients are removing the mail from the server after reading?
We have been having this problem in our office as well, without the use of phones. Some computers see all emails and others tend to make a selection. Really really annoying.
Couldn't figure it out.
I was getting this the first few days that I had the phone, in desperation I deleted the account each time and added it again. I think I did this three times in all, but I've not had it happen for sometime now. It's my own Exchange server running Exchange 2007 - I couldn't find anything in the logs to indicate a problem, and as it's not happened since I not bothered to look any further.
My wife's phone has done it a couple of times. Mine never has. We both use Activesync against my own 2010 Exchange server.
Deleting the account and re-adding seems to sort it, but is a pain. The mails are definitely there on the Exchange side. The mails seem to appear initially on the phone and then some time after (during another sync) disappear completely from the phone.

You mention you are syncing with an Exchange 2010 server. Does your Calendar also get synced?
What makes it really weird is that touchdown running on the phone doesnt bugger it up! I may email HTC just to get really annoyed and fobbed off by them....

Yep - the Calendar syncs.
Unfortunately the Desire doesn't support stuff like setting appointments to free/busy/out of office and if you create a repeated appointment on the phone you can't set an end date.
These are issues with the phone as a whole though, not just Exchange 2010.
Hello Experts
I am having this crazy problem since I am using HTC TP2 (T-mobile version). One of my Yahoo accounts starts downloading all of my emails on my phone. I have settings for to download only email for last 3 days. My other emails like gmail and live accounts are fine, but only yahoo emails is giving this problem.
I tried deleting the account and adding again. It is fine for few days and then start doing it again. Also I have exchanged my TP2 twice for another issue and I have seen this issue on all phones.
Is there a setting on my account (online version) that is doing it.
Need help.
I swear this ish happened to me yesterday. I picked up my phone and saw 19 new emails. That only happens when someone from my old school dies and emails are exchanged on our school forum. I opened my inbox and discovered all the read and unread emails in my Yahoo inbox had been downloaded to my phone...phew! big relief no one died but why the hell did that happen? I think I did a send/recieve and all the emails just diasappeared and it went back to normal.
guys, I got a really odd issue with my tilt 2 and yahoo email. I got the phone setup receiving emails from a couple of my email account, yahoo and gmail. For some reason, one of my yahoo email always download all of the mails after like a day or two of use despite the fact I set it to 1 day or 3 days. What is wrong with it?
Finally!! Someone who can relate to what I'm going through.
Any fixes for this? It had downloaded over 1400 emails in one Yahoo account and everything on the phone was lagging. There were some areas I couldn't get to: Home Screen. I ended up doing another hard reset and reloading the data from there. The only thing that sucks about that is that I lose the threaded SMS that I had.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ditto on the problem. I haven't figured out why it does this yet...
same issue has happened a few times to me. only solution I found was going to yahoo on my pc & archiving old emails so I keep only 100-200 emails in my inbox.

This is a rare issue for me. It's happened to me less than 10 times (on my HD2 and my TP2).
The only thing I do when I see it trying to download 300+ (instead of the 5 days of mail I want), I press Menu > Send/Receive to force-stop the download. When I retry, it goes back to downloading the 5 days-worth of mail.
Something I noticed...I set my gmail to sync hourly but it does not do that at all. Both my hotmail accounts will sync hourly but whenever I go to my gmail app, the longest time before another sync was like 22 mins. I emailed myself something through gmail once and although my sync settings were still set at hourly, I got the email 10 minutes later. Idk what's going on with that. I just now put it on manually because I'm pretty sure its turning on my 3G more times than it should.

gmail app?
Anyhow, I have my gmail sync every 15min and think it's pretty accurate...
I actually have several gmail accounts and they sync at various times with my main personal account syncing every 15min... And it all seems fine...

He probably means the Gmail email app you get once you configure a Gmail account on your WP7.
slightly different problem with gmail sync
Hey everybody,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same problem as me at the moment ?
I've had the phone a few months now. I experienced a few issues with Hotmail and returned to using Gmail. It used to sync and push emails flawlessly, however it seems to have stopped working which is driving me mad.
When I wake up, i'm used to seeing new messages waiting for me (mainly XDA forum news). However, the push functionality has stopped working. I open my inbox, and see a message indicating email is up to date. However, no new messages are displayed. When pushing the sync button, the inbox is synced and the new messages are displayed, despite the settings set for "as items arrive". Highly annoying and not very productive to have to check for messages manually.
I played around with the settings trying various options, I even deleted the account and started over again (which was a pain re linking contacts etc, all to no avail.
Can anybody help me to restore my push email please ? I'm getting really cheesed off now.
Thanks
Garrickus.
Could it be possible that your phone had synced with G-mail 50 minutes before you sent yourself an email, and then you received it 10 minutes later, after the scheduled hour?
BUMP
go to email account settings and check if it is showing any errors. happened to me once. I re-entered my username passoword and the error went away. Perhaps this is due to Google getting very picky these days as many gmail accounts are getting hacked.
Why not just leave it in 'push' mode? Unless you have a lot of emails every hour, push email uses less data than polling. Gmail's exchange activesync isn't exactly rock solid. Back in WM 6.xx days, I have to reset my account every few weeks.
Hello,
Last night all my contacts vanished from my S2.
They are still there when I log into my ymail via PC.
I've tried re-syncing, un-installing, re-installing etc. I just can't get them back.
I don't want to enter them all manually if I can help it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Welcome to the sh1tty Yahoo Mail for Android bud!
I too am a Yahoo emailer, have been since 2000, and up until yesterday i've been using it to sync my contacts. Mind you, it's always been a bit temperamental. If i updated one of my contacts online and then tried re-syncing, it would never update. NEVER! I always had to uninstall and then reinstall. How stupid is that?! As i undrstand it, Yahoo Mail for Android has always been a bit buggy in this regard, although i will say for the actual emailing side of things i really quite like it.
Well yesterday i tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as i wanted to update a particular contact, and just like yourself could i get my contacts back? Hell no! It frustrated the hell out of me, i tried everything, and in the end some 2 hours later i finally got if fixed (but you may not like the answer!).
I decided, fu<k it, Android is built by Google so let's use Google for my contacts. Even though i have never used G-Mail, i decided to put the hard work in and upload all my contacts to G-Mail. Luckily there's a shortcut to help with this, you can export your Yahoo contacts to a .csv file, and then import them into G-Mail. A lot of the numbers got garbled up in the process and needed to be manually fixed, but it gives you a head start anyway. Plus, in G-Mail you can assign your contact's photos, so now i won't have to manually put these in ever again
As soon as i was done, i tried syncing my Google account contacts and voila, they immediately showed up. And whats more, i even tried editing one straight away online, and one quick sync later it showed up immediately. Yay!
So now i have a G-Mail account (exact same ID & password as my Yahoo mail, so i won't forget! which i will use exclusively as a 'Contacts Management' solution, and my Yahoo Mail as per normal.
Trust me mate, take a couple of hours and do as i did, best move i've made since getting the phone. Yahoo need to seriously sort out the syncing on their android app!
